Sachtler Ace M
Ace is ideally suited for small HDV camcorders and video-enabled DSLR cameras. With a payload
range of 0 to 4 kilograms (0 to 8.8 lbs), a 5-step counterbalance and the new patented SA dragTM,
the new Ace tripod system enables a genuine Sachtler broadcast feel.
Due to its lightweight and compact design it is the perfect companion for work on the go whether
you are working on low-budget documentaries, electronic news-gathering (ENG), weddings events
and training videos or a secondary unit.
The new patented SA-dragTM system has three horizontal and three vertical steps. Ace uses three
capsuled damping modules allowing you to choose a drag setting that suits any shooting situation
- from a very tight control with lots of resistance to a very loose control with virtually no resistance
at all. This technique gives, for the first time in this price segment, a constant and repeatable drag
that professionals need and have always relied on, with Sachtlers’ broadcast and cine heads.
The 5-step counterbalance capability ensures easy balancing and optimum positioning of the
camera – a true Sachtler!
